Food blog – Banana Choc Chip Muffins

Bananas are affordable and plentiful again and I’ve now had my fill so I’m likely to have a couple of them start to turn, the perfect time for them to be turned into muffins or cakes. This recipe is adapted from one I found on Recipe Source. It is enough to make 12 muffins and neatly doubles if required

Utensils:

Two large bowls

Wooden spoon

Electric mixer

Muffin Tray/s

Muffin cups (paper or silicon)

Oven (kinda important)

FIRST THING TO DO ONCE YOU’VE DISCOVERED YOU HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS

preheat the oven to 180C (350F) I forget this step ALL THE TIME (If you have a fan forced oven, drop the temperature by between 10 – 20 degrees)

Ingredients:

2 extra-ripe bananas

2 eggs

1 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup butter (melted)

1 tsp vanilla essence

2 1/4 cups of plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp of cinnamon (more or less according to your taste – I LOVE cinnamon so tend to put more in)

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup of chocolate chips (milk or dark according to taste)

Method:

Mash the bananas!

Then in the smaller of your two large bowls, beat mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, melted butter and vanilla until well blended.
